Dahlia

Dahlias are stars of the summer to early fall,

 so enjoy them while you can.

  Here are some tips on taking care of dahlias as cut flowers,

1. Dahlias need a lot of water to support their many petals.

2. Their stems are hollow and will clog if there is a lack of fresh water or if the water contains bacteria. So make sure you use a clean vase without any residue.

3. To sterilize the vase, use a bottle brush and soap, rinse it clean and dry it upside down. You may also want to disinfect it using a solution that is 1 part bleach to 10 parts water.

4. Cut-flower food will help the dahlias last.

They typically look good for 4-5 days.

5. If you are using a solution of water and food,

change it every two days.

6. If the vase contains just plain water, change the water every day. Cut about an inch off the stems of the dahlias before reinserting. You can also take the end of a sharp knife and put a tiny hole into the stem, just under the water line. This will let air out and force the water to go higher.
